Israel and their corn

Have been using The Message translation lately, in conjunction with KJV.
It sometimes adds more meaning for me.

I was saved using the KJV, so though I never was a KJV Only person, I was close to it.
After years of loving the KJV, I finally got over my infatuation with it.

I still use the KJV as my base text, but I always look the verse in other translations, which gives me a broader and clearer view.

Corn is a grain.

The Message Bible is a mess. I had one given to me...ended up tossing it in the trash where it belongs.

Yeah, the Communists used to throw away Bibles, too...

The Mess-age isn't a Bible. It's Eugene Patterson's notes about what he thinks the Bible says.

OK so besides the KJV, which other version do our read?

Or will you throw out all all other versions?

There's a difference between a translation and what Peterson mostly made up with the Message. I think you know this.

I read KJV, NASB and Amplified versions of the Bible.

No, I don't toss other translations of the Bible.

Peterson actually translated from the original languages.
What passages did you object to?

No, it's not a translation.

"""In an interview with Christianity Today, Peterson described the beginning of the creative process that produced The Message: "I just kind of let go and became playful."""

There's also a weird issue with Peterson using "Master" instead of "Lord," which some claim is a sort of homage to New Ageism. Not sure I agree with that or not, just interesting.

Another example of why English has deteriorated to where most English speakers in America are almost illiterate.
